CONFIGURING THE SWITCH

Statistical Values

Parameter	Description
Packets Received	The total number of input datagrams received from
	interfaces, including those received in error.
Received Address	The number of input datagrams discarded because the
Errors	IP address in the header's destination field was not a
	valid address for this entity.
Received Packets	The number of input datagrams for which no problems
Discarded	were encountered to prevent their continued
	processing, but which were discarded (e.g., for lack of
	buffer space).
Output Requests	The total number of datagrams which local IP
	user-protocols (including ICMP) supplied to IP in
	requests for transmission.
Output Packet No	The number of datagrams discarded because no route
Route	could be found to transmit them to their destination.
	Note that this includes any datagrams which a host
	cannot route because all of its default gateways are
	down.
Datagrams Forwarded	The number of input datagrams for which this entity
	was not their final IP destination, as a result of which an
	attempt was made to find a route to forward them to
	that final destination.
Reassembly Required	The number of IP fragments received which needed to
	be reassembled at this entity.
Reassembly Failures	The number of failures detected by the IP re-assembly
	algorithm (for whatever reason: timed out, errors, etc.).
Datagrams Failing	The number of datagrams that have been discarded
Fragmentation	because they needed to be fragmented at this entity but
	could not be, e.g., because their “Don't Fragment” flag
	was set.
Received Header Errors	The number of input datagrams discarded due to errors
	in their IP headers, including bad checksums, version
	number mismatch, other format errors, time-to-live
	exceeded, errors discovered in processing their IP
	options, etc.
